It's Day of the Dead and that means the Monarchs are arriving at their winter home in Mexico! And according to Monarch Watch, the first three were spotted the other day! As for me, they never leave, as evidenced by today's picture of the Monarch that was braving windy, 60 degree weather. Seriously, I just went to Subway to grab lunch for Mom and me and everyone was wearing sweaters and jackets. Hilarious! I'm a native Floridian myself, but even I can stand just a T-shirt if I'm just running from the car to the store.

Despite it being on two types of milkweed, no egg laying took place as this was a male.
